MG Metro (surely one of the ugliest cars of all time) and a Ford RS200 (one of the most attractive rally cars ever built) share space in a presentation box. Both cars are "weathered", meaning they are dirty from flinging mud at each other.
Towards the end of the Group B era of Rallycross, the duels between Will Gollop (Metro 6R4) and Martin Schanche (Ford RS200) passed into motorsport legend. Two of the closest fought seasons in the European Rallycross Championship produced a title apiece for the pair; Norwegian Schanche winning through in 1991 when Gollops challenge was ended by huge crash in the penultimate event. Schanche later described the 91 title as the hardest won of his six championships.
The following year Gollop turned the tables on Mr Rallycross, but again there was great drama; Schanche receiving a two-race ban after stopping the Finnish round of the championship by standing in the track. Schanche then put substitute drivers in his Ford RS200 in a bid to take points from Gollop and the battle raged on when Schanche returned in the Summer. When Gollop finally put his name to the crown, the Englishman had the added satisfaction of doing so in Schanches back yard in Norway.
For many fans, the Group B era 1987 to 1992 remains the golden period in the history of the European Rallycross Championship and Gollop-Schanche the most compelling rivalry.
